Differential Health Impacts of Short‐Term Particulate Matter Exposure in Arid and Semi‐Arid Regions: A Scoping Review

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Particulate matter (PM) exposure is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular and respiratory morbidity and mortality across the world. While arid and semi‐arid regions account for more than 40% of terrestrial land, there is a paucity of research investigating the relationship between PM exposure and health outcomes or how risk varies across ...

Large‐Scale Forestation Aggravates Water Supply Decline: Mounting Challenges to Forest Management in China

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The “Nature‐based Solutions” strategy for combatting global land degradation and climate change through forestation has drawn increasing concerns regarding its potential tradeoffs with water resources, especially in dry regions. China is “greening up” due to decades of large‐scale tree planting and ecological restoration campaigns.

Structural Recovery of Overlooked Shrublands Drives Asymmetric Restoration in Dryland Ecosystems

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Current remote sensing of dryland ecosystems is fundamentally limited by a reliance on vegetation indices (“greenness”), which struggle to disentangle mixed pixel signals and fail to capture the non‐photosynthetic structural components critical for resilience.

Professional Academies: The Duty to Lead

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Scientific academies are not prize clubs. They are public institutions with independence, expertise, and convening power. In a period of climate instability, widening inequality, and declining trust in science, these attributes carry a duty to lead.

Global overview of progress in respecting the contributions of traditional knowledge in biodiversity governance

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Recognition and engagement of Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IP&LCs) and other traditional knowledge (TK) holders in formal biodiversity governance remain limited, despite their significant contribution to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity through their knowledge, innovations, practices, and land stewardship.
